Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in Saxony, with the reign of Frederick August II (1735-1763) seeing the construction of many notable buildings and the establishment of several important cultural institutions, such as the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts.
